(3,428 posts)Your scolding makes you appear to be the "owner" of DU, or the snitch who runs to the teacher to whine every time you see or hear something you don't like. Your behavior is juvenile and unhelpful.
Your attempt to ban all discussion of Johnson is reactionary, alot like the ostrich that puts his head in the sand.
Johnson will be on the ballot in 40 or more states, but he won't win more that 2-3 percentage points in any of them. In NM, where he is best known and liked, he'll barely crack 4%. It's conceivable that he could play a role in outcome of the election in a closely contested state, but that is unlikely.
At one time I thought that he could take enough votes from Obama in NM to swing the state to Romney, but that won't happen because Obama is leading Romney by 15 percentage points here. And, most pundits agree that he would likely get more Repuke votes than Democratic ones.
